How did it happen?
How did a religion, based upon writings
such as “God is Love”
come to oppose empathy?
The same way
that the Food and Drug administration
which once advocated for consumers
now advocates for industry;
to such a degree
that many American products
can no longer be sold in the European union
as food stuffs.
How does patriarchy
often conquer matriarchy from within,
like a Sith Lord from Naboo?
Because they are both parts of our brain.
The competitive part and the cooperative part.
That is why we practice mindfulness
that is why we practice meditation.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
not by monasteries but by students
as such the production of these livestreams,
blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
